Why we exist
Duniyai ka Soforr.
This world is all about helping one another.
Jola-Bulluf
Technology should help people move forward.
Soforr is a Jola-Bulluf word. It carries the idea of helping one another, and it is the idea this company is named after.
Most of what people achieve, they achieve with help. Technology, at its best, is a way of giving that help to more people, in more places, than any one person could reach alone.
- 01Technology connects people.
- 02It removes barriers that should not be there.
- 03It helps organisations operate better.
- 04It creates opportunities.
- 05It lets people accomplish more together than they could alone.
Origin & scope
Founded in The Gambia.
Building globally.
The Gambia is where SOFORR started, and where its philosophy comes from. It is not the limit of what the company builds or who it builds for.
Today the work spans a travel platform originating in The Gambia and an operational system for a farm in Maine. Different industries and environments, held to the same engineering standard.
